00:00Hello. After most of us had a fine day on Thursday, the weather's much more changeable

00:06as we go through the next few days. And the charts are pretty ugly as well. Lots of low-pressure

00:10systems to the north, bounds of rain on these weather fronts as they move through, and a

00:14waving, wriggling weather front close by to the south. It all adds up to spells of rain

00:20interspersed with dry and bright periods. And then this area of low pressure could bring

00:25some more persistent rain up from the southwest as we go through Sunday. Let's rewind the

00:30clock, however, and go through the next 24 to 48 hours in a bit more detail. A couple

00:35of these weather fronts crossing the country during Thursday night and into Friday morning,

00:39one bringing some rain initially to central and southern Scotland, then another one joining

00:44in, bringing some heavy rain through the early hours across the Highlands and extending down

00:48into Northern Ireland, and by morning, down into southern Scotland as well. For most of

00:52England and Wales, much of the night will be dry, but again, turning misty, murky and

00:56drizzly down to the southwest. A milder night compared to Wednesday night into Thursday

01:03morning when temperatures did drop down below freezing, mostly staying above freezing and

01:07certainly in the south, well above freezing here. So, a great start, though, with rain

01:13and drizzle as we go through the morning for parts of south Wales and southwest England.

01:17That area of rain is kind of moving north and east. This line of rain at the same time

01:21is slowly heading southwards and behind that, followed by a whole raft of more showers coming

01:26into Scotland and Northern Ireland. So, it is a messy old day, but some places, i.e.

01:33parts of northeast England, north Midlands, north Wales, probably not seeing much rain

01:37at all and staying mostly dry and bright. But elsewhere, I expect some rain at some

01:41point, particularly in the south. Quite a grey day here with rain and drizzle along

01:45the south coast. We might reach 16 or 17 degrees, but it won't feel all that mild. A colder

01:51feel across Scotland, Northern Ireland, with many places here struggling to get much above

01:5511 or 12 Celsius. During Friday evening, still a fair bit of rain around if you're heading

02:00out on the roads, but it should tend to fade away as we go through the night, drifting

02:05out into the North Sea. We've got another one of those weather fronts lining up for

02:09Saturday. This is going to bring a fairly narrow band, but a band of quite heavy rain

02:14nonetheless to initially Northern Ireland, but probably gone before dawn, and then across

02:19Northern England, Wales, and spreading across Scotland. Again, accompanied by some lively

02:24gusts of wind, particularly across the far northwest. And then behind that, we're left

02:28with a mixture of sunshine and blustery showers across the country. The showers will be somewhat

02:33hit and miss on Saturday afternoon, so a decent chance of a bit of blue sky. But again, temperatures

02:39are going to feel a little fresh with that wind. Actually, bang on average for the time

02:43of year already across the south, a little below average further north. But again, feeling

02:46cooler with the wind and when the showers come along. But they will come along and then

02:51they'll go again. They'll be zipping through on that fairly brisk breeze. But there's plenty

02:55more gathering out in the west as low pressure continues to dominate into Sunday. But then

03:00eyes down to the southwest, because here, a little feature developing, an area of low

03:04pressure. Some uncertainty on the timings of that, but it could bring some more persistent

03:08rain up from the southwest as we go through Sunday with plenty more showers still across

03:13parts of Scotland. But parts of the east may stay largely dry on Sunday until the overnight

03:19period. For more details on that, because there is plenty going on this weekend, make
